  1. The outstanding detail for me, which I hadn't noticed before, were the remarks about Venetian fashion in their schemes and designs – one of the lesser-noticed aspects of the Blood Angels is a naming and cultural tradition pulled from Rennaisance Italy (especially Dante's Inferno, naturally), and to have noticed that before getting any of the actual lore of the legion is an incredible observation!

  2. Hey kid, do you know why cherry blossoms turn red? Because there's a dead body burried under it! Or at least in Japan they say the blood creates that color. Not sure what that has to do with BA 🤷‍♂️

    Sorry I'm late to the party but that was a really fun episode. Thanks guys!

  3. Oddly I appreciate the primaris designs because they feel more like 2e and 3e marines. Originally all the divergent chapters weee basically just different colored normal space marines with some special characters and maybe a special unit or two.

    It wasn’t until later that each of them leaned 110% into being unique and special. (Too far in some cases cough space wolves * )

    So I like the primaris pulling back a bit on the “everyone is special” feeling the divergent chapters developed. To quote the Incredibles; “when everyone is special, no one is”

  4. I started my 40k hobby with the Angels of Death Codex at age 16. I cannot overstate what a perfect fit it was for me: I was vampire goth kid with long blonde hair, trying to become an artist who was struggling with his emotions every day. Now almost 30 years later, now that we finally have up to date models, I am creating my own successor chapter called the Mournful Lords. I want to see whether I can bring my vision into reality.

    Thanks for going over all of this; it was great food (or blood) for thought!
